My Dearest Knight,

I dance to exhaustion, this eve.
Thy last words, a symphony of the night,
harmonizing my mood.
The shadows reach out,
allowing a pretense of thee.
Improvising, mine thoughts mirror each sway,
engaging thy services in need.

All too often, this emptiness
is but a hindrance, snagging mine,
the silken touches of want.

Traversing these chambers, examining
inch by inch, every intersecting line
searching for a sign, an imprint
a note, an informal reminder that thou,
hast not left me sullen in spirit,
I hold onto mine senses of thee
and continue this dance in thought,
knowing that thou shall deliver to me, thineself
within a fortnight.

Eternally By Thy Side,
Lady Ollyne

This never goes out of style, thank you for writing such a poignant love letter.

Very very softly spoken, Lady O.

So that you won't ever forget me.~

Very well written, Lady Ollyne.  I think something like this is one of the best gofts one can give or receive.  Much enjoyed.
